Hey, do the same thing on an X5 and the MPG gauge goes to 1 too... morons. Let's drive an H2 like a sports car and see how it handles. Ok, let's drive an F430 and see how much it can haul. When they reviewed the C6Z06 it kicked ass in the performance categories and wound up #3 on the board for their test track, ahead of many many euro exotics, yet those buffoons still wouldn't give it any praise... they just walked around it banging on the body panels going "plastic, fiberglass, plastic..." and scowling.... pssst, what SHOULD they have made the car out of to reduce weight? Carbon Fiber? and sold 100 cars because the price would be astronimical to buy AND repair? pfffft

They completely biased and always slant their stories. This is America, if someone wants to buy a Chevy Cobalt, an H1 or H2, a Ferrari or a Vdub, so be it, who cares, it's their choice. When the neighbors with an opinion start helping with the monthly car payment, I'll pay attention to their opinion on what i drive.... until then.... not gonna happen.
